Can you use your bluetooth headset to connect to your landline? This might be a dumb question but I'm wondering if I can use the headset I already have to answer landline calls or if you have to use the handset to answer landline calls?

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."

nope. forced to use mic on device only. Looking everywhere for a bt module that allows that. Headset with mic will still work for sound, but no mic.Would be ok if the mic wasn't so bad when a headphone/headset was plugged in. It's bad firmware because the mic works very well when using as a mini "phone" or speakerphone. I have bought two, and both have the same issue.

yes, Bluetooth headsets work universally with any bluetooth phone. I haven't had any trouble with any phone in my house and one phone is one of those free garbage phones lol have a great day

Pretty much works with any land line phone. Yes, but you have to buy an additional piece that goes under the handset on your landline to lift it up when answering calls. I didn't have the need to buy this piece. It has a very good range and an excellent voice quality but pricy.

Hey Greg, To answer a call you have to push the button on the top of the right earbud, it disconnects the call as well. If you're saying right now "But I have done that and it still doesn't work"...then THAT is because your phones bluetooth software is not a high enough version (A2DP etc.), so it can connect audio to the headset, but not phone functions....if u can update your phone OS or your bluetooth components individually, that will fix it....IF the top right button isn't controlling your phone. Hope that helps.

From the manual: Headset (optional) Connecting a headset to the handset allows hands-free phone conversations. We recommend using the Panasonic headset noted on page 5.

Excellent question. Like you, I hope to get rid of my landline and still use the Panasonic with my cell(s). I tested it out, just to make sure it would work. I disconnected the base unit from the phone jack and was still able to make and receive calls through the bluetoothed cells. One step closer to getting rid of the landline.

Yes, you need the phone with you and within a certain range of the Bluetooth device. I don't see in the directions where it says you need to answer the call on your phone. The purpose of a Bluetooth is so you don't have to do that! You click on the headset to answer the phone. Read the directions again carefully. It says "to answer a call press and release the [Call] button or press the answer key on your mobile phone. It says "OR".

Hi J.R. I do not own this phone. But I am about to buy one (or two) and have read the whole manual already, and I know a lot about Skype, and I think I can answer your questions: 1 - In order to have voicemail on your non-Skype line, you have to subscribe to voicemail with your landline phone company. The device does not do voicemail. But if you do subscribe to voicemail with your landline phone company, then the device will show if you have voicemail waiting for you. 2 - Yes, you can retrieve voicemail from your landline voicemail account. 3 - The only way for a non-Skype landline to call your "Skype number" is for you to have a SkypeIn phone number. You pay Skype to have a SkypeIn phone number. If a caller in your Caller List (already entered into your Caller List) calls you, then yes, you get caller ID and you can see who is calling. But if a stranger calls you who is not in your Skype caller list, you will not see caller ID. I hope this helped you. I am pretty sure my answers are 100% correct.

Yes, it connects like any bluetooth device, using the Bluetooth menu on your phone. The instructions will tell you how, but you probably will figure it out just by going to that menu on your phone. There are also online support sites. You pair it to the phone, then it will connect automatically when you turn it on. It's easy! This is a very good bluetooth headset, in my opinion...and the price makes it even better. Best wishes!

I don't think so! It, however, has a wired headset outlet on each wireless handset! Asking it to connect through Bluetooth to one's Bluetooth phone and then, additionally asking it to do a Bluetooth headset, would be too much, and, frankly meaningless, in my opinion, since the device is designed to allow one to use a landline and cell, at home, with multiple handsets, conveniently placed around said home!, which it does beautifully!

Hello, Re calling out- that is done from your mobile phone or computer. I suppose if you had voice recognition on your cell/computer, you could call out but I think you'd still have to touch your phone. There is no keypad on this headset.Re incoming calls- push the silver button on side of headaet or use your phone to answer.Instructions so good I didn't need to use them. :)

Hi Manuel... These wireless earbuds can be used as a headset to make and answer phone calls with your cell phone once paired via bluetooth. As audio listening headphones, (such as music or movies), they don't seem to be the best choice for me. They don't stay in my ears very well and the sound is not as rich as with other stereo headphones that I've used in the past. Bottom line is YES you can use them to talk and answer calls! Hope this helps you out.

If you're connected to it through your Bluetooth, the phone call will come through that--you will hear them through the speaker. Obviously you will still need to talk back through the phone as your voice will not be picked up by this speaker. It is not a microphone.

You can use headsets on each phone. I haven't had any problems with the speaker phone. Each handset has a speaker phone.
